Why the World Slept aims to answer a single question: why does social media make us act the way we do? In a succinct thesis strung together by distinctive chapters, Jackson Richards discusses the detriments of social media on the mental, social, and political health of our world. He believes that we have been granted a technology that has not matched the pace we are maturing as a society, and the effects are only beginning to be seen. This cautionary tale aims, and succeeds, to serve as a preemptive warning regarding the future of our democracy if we are to continue down the path of absentminded social media use. Most importantly, this book implores the reader to question what their own social media consumption may be withholding them from individually, and on a broader scale.
